You should fix your eyes every day on the greatness of Athens as she really is and fall in love with her. When you realise her greatness then reflect on what made her great, men with a spirit of adventure, men who knew their duty, men who were ashamed to fall below a certain standard. Perikles circa 480 B.C. (Backwards Counting!)

I used to play the guitar – actually won the national Novice Award for Classical Guitar years ago but never could sing! I was too shy to open my mouth.
